Innovation drives the growth of organisations, whether they are industrial enterprises, service providers, social enterprises, charities or public sector organisations. In our, we will explore how companies utilise expert knowledge from the university to advance business performance and de-risk investment for research and development.
For the September instalment of the Innovate & Elevate series, we will be hosting an in-person event to coincide with our monthly online forum. The in-person portion of the day will be an opportunity to meet the leading experts in Extreme Environment and Human Physiology and tour our extensive facilities within our School of Psychology, Sport & Health Sciences.
This will be followed by a presentation led by Dr Ant Shepherd and Dr Joe Costello, which will be streamed to our online audience. Here you can learn more about the research and projects within the School, and find out more about the Knowledge Transfer Partnership programme.
The afternoon will then continue with a tour of the facilities, including our Extreme Environments and Psychophysiology Laboratories. Our unique facilities and specialist equipment also includes eye tracking technology, thermal cameras, sport and human performance testing unit, and sport bra testing unit.
The day will conclude with some time for networking and connecting with our academics and KTP team at the Çà¹ÏÊÓƵ.

Presenters
Ant’s research career focuses on using novel interventions (for example; nutrition or extreme environments) to improve metabolic and cardiovascular health, quality of life and physical function. Ultimately, his research revolves around patient benefit. He is also interested in understanding the pathophysiology of specific chronic diseases in order to elucidate any potential therapeutic strategies.
Joe is currently the Associate Head of Research and Innovation in the School of Sport, Health and Exercise Science.
He joined the Çà¹ÏÊÓƵ, initially as a Postdoctoral Fellow in 2015 before being appointed as a Lecturer in Exercise Physiology in 2016, and then Senior Lecturer in 2017. Prior to joining the School, Joe completed his PhD at the University of Limerick, Ireland (2008-2012) and three years of Postdoctoral research at Queensland University of Technology, Australia (2012-2015).
Joe’s primary research interests are directed toward understanding the physiological effects of various stressors (e.g. heat, cold, and hypoxia) on human performance. He has a particular interest in exploring the mechanisms responsible for a decrement in performance, both physical and cognitive, following exposure to these extreme environments.
